Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

I like to use those floss sticks with the toothpick on them but I never use that part. I floss a couple of times a week.

Personality is almost everything. Some of the people I have been most attracted and affected by, were people with interesting personalities. I like it when people challenge the preconceived notions I have about subjects.

AJ,

Your three favorite Underworld songs?

What is your favorite aspect and biggest annoyance about Phoenix?

Moaner
Cowgirl
A track that I cant think of the name of but it goes "Whyy can't we go, back where/to we are frommmmmm"

I like Phoenix because there are some really cool people that inhabit all the different cities in the greater Phoenix area. You can hit like three different scenes in one night and be totally satisfied with all of them.

The biggest annoyance is the lack of culture. Also all the resorts and spas kind of bug. Sometimes there is a non-existent pedestal that people stand on out here and it annoys me. Also the rave and electronic music (for the most part) sucks.

Damn you, I knew it was gonna be another music fest. So, I pass this question on to the next lucky victim.

When did you feel the most "free?" No music fests or music "experiences," damn it!!!!!

I have been in lots of fights. I dont like fighting and could go the rest of my life without violence.

One time I got my ass kicked.

I was with some girls, and we go to this lame house party. The minute we get there this guy starts trying to take my chicks. I start talking shit to him and telling the girls we are leaving and to get in the car. Four dudes follow me out saying they want to have a word with me. I start telling them that I will kill all of them and the girls try and stop me, but I tell them to fuck off.

The girls get in the car and fucking leave me there with the four guys. One of them hits me in the eye with a beer bottle, totally filling my sight with bloody white light. I dont fall down so someone spears me and we start wrestling on the blacktop. My knees and elbows are banging on asphalt while this guy tries to put my eye out with his thumb. I start to get the feeling that I am fighting for my life. I fight him off of me, just as the girls come back in the car, they cause more confusion and I fight with this dude some more, but we are both so out of stamina that we are just useless. I leave in the car and totally blame getting my ass kicked on the girls.

I was being a total ass and I dont blame them for kicking my ass.

I was raised Pentecostal / Christian my whole life and I also went to a Baptist church as a teen. My family has always been republican and they totally love G.W. Bush and John McCain. I myself have taken on a liberal stance but the more liberties I experience, the more I question it.

I went to private christian learning till I was in junior high, then I went to public school till I graduated high school. I go to a lowly community college for now until I get my associates.

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

What is your favorite foreign food and what is your favorite place you have travelled?

I like Thai food. I also enjoy Greek food. I guess I don't see Mexican food or sushi as a foreign food, which is what I eat most consistently. Hummus / Spanikopita?

I really have not traveled hardly anywhere. I have barely been around America and I have never left the country besides Mexico. I really hate that I have not done more exploring. I feel like it is a short-coming of mine.

I would say its a toss up between this one time that I fornicated with this girl on a golf course in the soft grass out in the open, or this one time that I took a girl to a porn shop and we did it in the arcade booth. I thought I kinda raised the bar that night. She came really fast.

I feel free when I can connect with other people. When I am creating something I feel free. When I am laying in my bed and I realize how little control I have over certain things in this world, and I allow myself to be at peace with those things and enjoy them for what they are, I feel free.

I think that hair and eyes are really important. I look at eyebrows and feet very closely. I need a overall womanly/feminine figure. I also like tattoos on my women

My favorite photographer is the photographer. I have some very aesthetically pleasing photos in mind, but no one single photographer. I guess I have always envied expressionism artists. Usually something like Kandinsky or Albright. (BTW The picture of Dorian Gray is my favorite book.)

You have to know how to wrap it, and how to flaunt it! I just rock it with everything and people love it.

It depends on the genre, and what kind of music bug I have in me at the moment, but Ill give it a shot.

I would say The Smiths. Coming in a close second would be maybe The Rapture or We Are Scientists. The Black Kids album I think is one of my favorite albums of last year. I am really on the electronic tip right now but I give the full credit to The Smiths.

I am really throwing it all out there with the story of getting my ass kicked, and this one

I am in Phoenix for the first time since just turning 21. I am at another house party but this one is not dangerous, its just boring. So this guy who is a friend of my friends keeps talking my ear off about all these nostalgic moments and telling me how cool he thinks I am and blah blah blah. We step outside for a cigarette and he asks me if I could keep a secret. I instantly realize that this man is coked out of his mind and he offers me a bump. I take the bump and its some kind of strawberry coke.

The dude offers to take me to a "baller" party. I get in the car with like $40 to my name, no real friends, and I have no idea where I am at (didnt know PHX like I do now). We drive to this place called "Queen Creek". I can tell that its kind of out of town and that I am at least 30 miles away from where I started. The whole time he is feeding me more of this strawberry coke, and I am drinking gatorade to fight off the coke mouth. We get to this house and it is ballin. There is fire burning on top of the pool, and flat screen t.v. outside. A stunning woman walks in the door, I immediately tell her she looks amazing, and she responds "I know".

I am standing around trying to figure this whole situation out, when I totally start to shit my pants. This coke is ultra lax-y and I completely shart in my jeans. I go to the bathroom to inspect the damage and it is bad. It is a throw your undies away type of situation but this bathroom is obviously for pissing only and there is a line. I put everything back together and walk straight out the front door. I find an undeveloped lot and I jump over the back wall where i find a swift moving irrigation stream. I strip my clothes off, throw my boxers out and use the water to clean my ass. I am drunk too so I almost fall into the water. I walk back to the party and I have been abandoned. I use some cologne from one of the private bathrooms in the back and I ask the only nice girl I had met the whole night for a ride.

She takes me to this Escalade and we get in and everyone has guns on their lap, so I am guessing they had more coke. I tell them I need to get to Tempe and they say ok. When we get to their house there are even more people with guns, they offer me a line of ecstasy and I take it, its my first time. After this I step outside to smoke my last cigarette, I start to forsee myself getting robbed and I start to get scared, so I bail over the wall and just start walking really fast to the nearest main intersection. I call my friend to come pick me up and its now 630am on a Sunday morning.

It was Saturday Coachella. I had taken a bunk roll around 7pm. It was a piper so I felt horrible, but I did not want to just take more rolls to counteract it, I just wanted to let if fall off a little before I started to take the real rolls.

All my friends are melting and I finally take a good roll right before MSTRKRFT. They are doing their things and I am starting to feel good almost instantly.

I take another one and within 30 mins I am rolling my face off.

MSTRKRFT gets near the end of the set and all of a sudden a man runs on stage and starts singing live with MSTRKRFT.

My friend turns to me and says "Is that Robert Smith on stage with MSTRKRFT?"

I fall over laughing my ass off because he is completely serious. Ever since then it has been a fountain of inside jokes and conversation. It put the whole experience in perspective.

Mondays are only Mondays when you have a 9-5. Sometimes days blend together and it does not matter if its weekend or weekdays. I like that feeling of having time flow without the constraints of "its a weekday" or "lets wait till the weekend". I know that its not always possible.
